One thing I found out from Jordan: even if you arrive half an hour early, people still arrive two minutes before the parade. The policemen force these people to step off the streets, so the people lined up right by the pavement (like Jordan) end up being pushed back. So tip for the day? be aggressive and keep your spot!

In the end, I heard from a lot of other ACM people that Chinatown was really crowded and officials were giving speeches left and right. So the parade (which was what I originally wanted to see) wasn’t that great after all, and hopefully I didn’t miss any other interesting activities after the parade!

When Voldemort attacks and kills the Potters, Snape decides he wants to keep the one remaining piece of Lily, her son, for himself. But keeping Harry safe and away from the world has unexpected consequences that no-one could have predicted.
